Following lunch in our riad, we took an orientation walk to the legendary square, Djemma El-Fna [to which we would return again and again during our stay]. Here are some of the sights we encountered along the way.

The next day we set out from Ouarzazate on a long scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains to Marrakesh. This trip required great skill of our bus driver as we drove over the Tishka Pass through narrow, winding roads with endless snapback curves along very steep drop-offs into the valley below. I was not comfortable until we finally reached flat terrain and made our way into Marrakesh, where we would remain for several days. We had lunch at our riad, which was located within the old medina [yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site]. As it turns out Marrakesh is a ‘tale of two cities’, one a modern bustling metropolis, and the other a traditional medina.
